Web-Broker Entities: How WBEs Can Drive Future Exchange Enrollment

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Just two years in, enrollment on public insurance exchanges has already begun to level off. Health plans continue to rely heavily on brokers and agents to drive enrollment, but the online process remains clunky and inefficient. Industry observers contend that additional enrollment growth cannot be achieved unless carriers, insurance brokers and benefits consultants are able to enroll consumers directly.

Web-broker entities (WBEs) are agents, brokers or other entities with a website that has been blessed by CMS. More than 50 WBEs are now registered to enroll individuals, employers and their workers in health insurance through HealthCare.gov. In the years ahead, they may become a health plan’s best friend.

Learn how health plans and WBEs can work together to drive enrollment and retention.

Sign up today for this complimentary webinar and hear directly from thought leaders at Leavitt Partners and Softheon details of how WBEs are expected to drive meaningful enrollment to health plans. In 45 minutes of expert presentations followed by 15 minutes devoted to your individual questions, you’ll get answers to these and other related questions:

How can WBEs overcome the challenges they face in enrolling individuals and small groups onto the exchanges?

How will the recently approved year-round access to HealthCare.gov’s Direct Enrollment (DE) function make it easier to enroll new members?

How are brokers and WBEs helping applicants make it through the so-called “double redirect” process?

What’s the latest on CMS’s EVaaS interface that would seamlessly link carriers and WBEs to HealthCare.gov?

How can health plans and marketplaces work with WBEs to improve member retention?
